Open IDEO: Ideas shaped together to improve the world

New ideas by the bucketful on Open IDEO  with a unique format. 

Open IDEO is a place to share good ideas and make them better.  Imagination, technology and a community based platform to let people work together for a better world

It is exciting to see so much enthusiasm and thoughtfulness.

As Bono from U2 said the other day:  It is critical to tell success stories so people know we can change the world for the better and reduce poverty, improve health care, stop wars, cut carbon and solve these big problems together.

Hope in a stalk of grain

NYT story on adapting grains for a warming climate.  Hope in a stalk of grain to bring more food to poor people around the world.  I read the story for the shifting narrative we're beginning to get as mainstream media led by the New York Times starts to cover climate crisis as a front page rather than just a science niche story that Andrew Revkin has beat the drum on for year.

Maude Barlow

Speech given in Fall 2010:  Solid as a rock.  More pithy quote to follow.  This is a bookmark for Maude's powerful voice.
